Below is an example with 100m visibility:
The modeling of rain and snow has the similar approach: Click on Precipitation and choose rain or snow to have the settings available.
It is possible to set the Density of the particles, diameter, Camera clip distance and the velocity components. In this case it is also possible to set the direction of the rain. It is also possible to rain upwards.
In the Favorites it is possible to save different rain configurations. For Rain and snow there are also some pre configured Rain settings.
For Rain:
For snow:
